.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
\fIircdwatch\fP is a daemon that periodically checks that the 
\fIircd\fP daemon is running, restarting it of necessary.  This
daemon can also be configured (at compile time) to check for
changes to the \fIircd\fP configuration file and make \fIircd\fP
reload its configuration file by sending it a SIGHUP signal.  
.LP
Given command line arguments \fIircdwatch\fP will serve as a remote
control for stopping both \fIircdwatch\fP and \fIircd\fP or just
\fIircdwatch\fP.
